Hi This actually happens on an alpha, but I would think the problem will be the same. We have an alpha that uses tar for it's backup. We do a 'tar tv' to verify the backup. Over the last month we have been getting errors in the log. Below is an example of one of the errors. This error happened to be about one line, but the errors can be very large. Dump does not give any such errors. ... -rwxr-xr-x 284/15 1131 Mar 14 1994:47 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/INT99031.pc -rw-rw-r-- 299/15 1358 Jul 8 1994:11 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/10101 -rwxrwxr-x 294/2000 14848 Jun 14 1994:21 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/WLS00065.rep -rw-rw-r-- 299/15 7081 Nov 15 1994:02 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/4974 -rw-rw-r-- 284/15 1359 Jul 10 17:44:07 1995 /d02/RCS_XRAY/8255 -rw-rw-r-- 282/15 1088 Jul 8 1994:24 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/20172 -rwxr-xr-x 278/15 19755 Sep 16 1994:38 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/ADT09104.rex -rw-rw-r-- 287/15 23086tar: [offset 4m+614k+0]: I/O error tar: /d02/RCS_XRAY/SC0070.rex : File data is corrupt May 31 1995:53 1995 /d02/RCS_XRAY/cli.trc -rw-rw-r-- 283/15 4356 Oct 17 10:50:33 1995 /d02/RCS_XRAY/17194 -rw-rw-r-- 283/15 1059 Sep 20 1994:18 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/4262 -rwxr-xr-x 290/15 32989 Oct 11 1994:16 1994 /d02/RCS_XRAY/WLS00212.rex ... Any suggestions as to why this is happening will be much appreciated. Cheers, Jase. ------------------------------------------------------------------- < Jason Neil Contact Details > < Technical Co-ordinator Phone: 0064 9 3771780 > < Galen Group Ltd Fax: 0064 9 3771787 > < Auckland, New Zealand email: jan@nzxray.galen.co.nz > -------------------------------------------------------------------
